DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking as an example the case where a business card 6 is scented. 1 in the figure
The case 1 is a thin case in which one end in the longitudinal direction is formed in an open shape. The case 1 has a length dimension in the longitudinal direction so that a business card 6 or a business card size card can be freely inserted and removed. However, it is formed so as to be slightly larger than the length in the short direction of the business card. Further, since the scenting device of the present invention is always provided for a business card holder as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable to form the case 1 as thin as possible.

The perfume absorbing member 2 housed inside the case 1 is made of felt or other hygroscopic material which is moistened with a suitable perfume.

As shown in FIG. 3, the recess 4 is formed so that the end of the business card 6 can be inserted so that perfume can be effectively permeated and the scent can be transferred. Need not necessarily be provided.

At the opening of the case 1 and at a position slightly inward from the opening, a sealing piece 3 formed in a substantially U shape is provided. The sealing piece 3 is inserted between the upper and lower inner wall surfaces in the drawing, and is divided at a substantially central portion thereof, and the divided front ends are brought into contact with each other. The pieces 3 are freely connected or separated. Since the sealing piece 3 configured as described above plays a role of inserting and removing a business card from the abutting portion 5, it is preferable that the sealing piece 3 is formed using a thin film of elastic and somewhat hard synthetic resin. is there. In this embodiment, an example in which two seal pieces 3 are provided is shown.
